Why neuroinclusion?
One in five
Up to 20% of people are neurodivergent. These children need understanding and acceptance.
Redefine the experience
Neurodivergent children can thrive at school in the right environment and with better understanding.
Shape the future
By teaching children about neurodiversity we are making leaders and societies of the future neuroinclusive
"The videos sparked meaningful discussions, built empathy, and empowered children to appreciate and celebrate the differences in how we all think and learn."
Kate Barber
Year 5 Teacher and EDIB Lead, British International School of Charlotte
How it works
The lesson comprises four short videos and one BONUS video from influencer and activist Ellie Middleton.
Between each video you can facilitate a conversation with your class, or child.
The videos can either be played as one complete lesson or split across a week in assemblies, for example.

Real impact in schools
Carden Primary School, Brighton
Before
James was in Year 4 with 85% attendance. He struggled with transitions, was socially isolated, and spent most of his day masking - which left him exhausted and affected family life at home.
After
Following a Differing Minds lesson, James's attendance rose to 93% and stayed consistently high. He became a school ambassador, presented to professionals, and achieved age-related expectations in reading, writing and maths. He now has 100% attendance at secondary school.
We've removed all barriers
- No need for prior knowledge of neurodiversity – learn alongside the children
- It's FREE – although donations are welcome

"We had a lot of discussion following the video about neurodiversity - many children saying they have different brains or their siblings do. The videos were great."
Year 2 Teacher · Stanford Infants School, Brighton
"My class really enjoyed watching and discussing the videos. They are pitched very well for Year 2 and we've had interesting discussions - this from a class with a high level of neurodiversity."
Year 2 Teacher · Stanford Infants School, Brighton
"The children were very engaged and the videos prompted lots of discussion. They were just the right length of time too."
Year 1 Teacher · Stanford Infants School, Brighton
"The children loved sessions 1 and 2. The images really helped with their understanding - they especially loved the duck/rabbit picture that could be seen as different things."
Reception Teacher · Stanford Infants School, Brighton
"These are great. I'm going to share them with my boys at home too - there's a lot of great chat to be had from them."
Reception Teacher · Stanford Infants School, Brighton
"We had a good discussion about why we call fidget toys 'focus tools' at school. The children really engaged with thinking about what helps them and others."
